---Problem Description---
"perf" package needs a fix to support "audit"-related functionality with python. See https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git/commit/tools/perf/scripts/python/Perf-Trace-Util/lib/Perf/Trace/Util.py?id=6fae8663c9940bcaa9edd8e21a9ae0f562789a3d

The support is there for all other arches except ppc64le. The patch is a one-line fix.

Currently, Ubuntu doesn't python scripting in perf at all. That is being tracked at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1707875. So, this bug should depend on that.

It has been decided not to enable this in the kernel since this adds complication related to python 2/3 dependencies to the kernel
